On April 15, the law “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on a One-Time Cash Payment to War Veterans and Victims of Nazi Persecution” came into force, writes “Legal Hundred”. Now it will be paid on Independence Day.

Experts note that it will also be provided to participants in hostilities, persons with disabilities as a result of the war, participants in the war, members of the families of the dead and persons who have special merits to the Motherland, victims of Nazi persecution.

By analogy with the payment by May 5, the procedure for payment by Independence Day and its amount will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers within the budget allocations established by the law on the State Budget of Ukraine.

Therefore, payments by May 5 this year should not be expected, since the new law changed the law “On the status of war veterans, guarantees of their social protection” and, in fact, postponed this payment to August 24.

Lawyers recalled that the law excluded Art.. 17-1 of the Law of Ukraine “On the status of war veterans, guarantees of their social protection”, which in general terms regulated the mechanism for receiving payments by different categories of persons entitled to it, the terms for applying and receiving payments. Therefore, the payment mechanism will be determined at the sub-legislative level..

Ukrainian legislation provides for additional payments for state awards. Recall which of the pensioners can get them.
